Hi;
here the thing,
i have two PS3s with the following issue:
one of them works for 30 mins after that it freeze with weird color stripes on the TV the other is the same but after 10 -15 mins.
i tried to Reflow them with a heat Gun (i know it is bad) but this is what i have got in my hand (My Aoyua 968 is on the way).
the first worked for 2 days then it returned to the same issue.
the second i Reflowed it, it works now but when ever i move the unit it is freeze again with same weird stripes on the TV, and sometimes it works for 2 hours and freeze,
the second one is jail-broken so i enabled the Temperature to see how much it goes never more the 58 c for both CPU and GPU.
is there anything i can look for here any body and @Mr.Dutch i know you have some hardware skills

[Mr.Dutch]

it's probably still a bad contact, did you tried something to put more pressure on the heatsinks?

This was my second step, my friend,
i'll put some coins on the GPU, and report back

@3absiso have you got any pictures?

GPU needs reballing, you most likely screwed the solder balls even more by reflowing with a heatgun.

Yes could be; but this is not the first time i use a heat gun and i make sure of the temperature and i put thermometer.
but you are right and i know the heat gun can make things worse, but this is what i have in my hand till now.

No i do not have any picture i'll try put some pressure on it.

@Mr.Dutch
it seems i screwed things up;
i put pressure on the CPU rather the GPU. Lame i know.
now when i press the Power button it turns for 1-2 seconds then turned off with no red light on the power button. the red light appears again when i press the Power button again.
do you think the CPU is fried or something?
also there are no scratches here or there,
oh my god. for the past two days i was knowing something bad is going to happen with me.
any help here, and please without the sercasim.

maybe this extra pressure is not that good afterall?
there are some threads about putting washers ect. on the ps3 for more pressure, but maybe it can be too much?

btw, is it a 25xx model?

can the cpu be fried in the first place if you put more pressure on it?

the good news, you allready had problem with the ps3, it's far more worse if you mess up a good ps3...

you know my knowledge is still limited about the ps3.

hi 3absiso talking about (extra) pressure on the CPU/GPU, the only thing i can tell u here after putting the "4 washers" trick on a NAND RLOD, really had some struggle at first screwing them in without 1 jumping in my bad left eye
after a nice fit + the extra pressure and it must be a bit.. the PS3 here atleast RLOD'd again ofcourse..but with the red light led on like usual

@Mr.Dutch
@haz367
thanx for helping but guess what,
i prepared my Preheater Puhui T-8280 with Amtech LF-4300-TF Flux and reflowed the CPU, with the Heat gun, but semulated a Rework station Profile. and guess what the PS3 came to life but black screen.
so i repeated the same procecess to the GPU,
and the PS3 is working perfectly.
Whoooooooooooooooot? sorry but excited
